001[Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Hey. Heat. Heat. [Music] Yeah. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Yeah. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Yeah. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Yeah. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Yeah. And a flock of sea. Heat. Heat. [Music] What's up everyone and welcome to Columbus Park here in Medford, Massachusetts for the first round of the 2025 MIAA statewide tournament. I'm Josh Delgazo alongside Justin Han. And for the tournament, we have a GBL matchup. It's the Crimson Tide taking on the Medford Mustangs for the third time this season. And the Crimson Tide will be looking to avenge those two losses as they didn't fear too well in those games, not scoring a run while giving up an aggregate score of 23. It was 12 nothing the first goound and
00211 nothing. So, the Tide working against the Vegas odds in this one, but hey, that's why we play the games and it's always tough to beat a team three times. Justin, in those first two match ups, obviously it wasn't easy going for the Tide, but uh here we are, brand new season, win or go home. Tide, well, they need to get on the board first and try to see how that plays out. But, uh, you know what? What are some of the advantages they can look to exploit from a familiar foe? Well, I mean, you've seen them twice already in the season, and to me, that means that you know what's coming. You know that you know their drills. So, I mean, hopefully you'll be able to make a play off that. Alternatively, they're on
003a hot streak right now, winning the last two games. Uh, so hopefully they build off that momentum and, uh, we'll we'll see the Tide come in and win this one. Yeah, you definitely always want to come in here uh, you know, winners of what you've recently played. And the Tide have done that, taking their last two and they have had a good season. They're 15 and five. No slouches uh at that. But the Mustangs have enjoyed a very strong season, 18-2, starting 14-0 before they lost to regional powerhouse Whittier Voke Tech. And then they lost to Marblehead. They also avenged that Whittier loss in the last game of the season by winning nothing. They have seven shutouts to their name this season. We mentioned two of those coming to the Crimson Tide. So, this is
004a Mustang team that is looking to make some noise and they get to do so at the friendly confines of their home field. The winner of this game will take on the number two seed Wuset Mountaineers. Wuset has earned that seed with an 18-2 record themselves. They actually have six shutouts and they are typically a major player in this softball tournament. So, I believe that game is slated for Sunday. So, the winner of this game will be heading out to Holden, Massachusetts for a little bit of Wuset softball. The loser, unfortunately, their season will end here today, but again, making it to the postseason is certainly a congratulations that goes your way and you're playing you're playing for all the marbles. Absolutely. And uh you know, once you get up to Wusid, once you get
005up to those mountains, it's a whole different ball game. Higher altitude. I mean, I'm a big ski guy. Certainly, the slopes will be closed right now. Although uh finally we've seen some weather that resembles the actual calendar that we're in right now. But uh yeah, watch always a good time uh taking the slopes. I I usually hit the greens to start off. A few blues, maybe a black diamond or two, but if it gets too a little too icy, I uh I try to try to get back to the bunny slopes. But uh all right, so that's what's happening here. We're moments away. The Mustangs are finishing up their warm-ups right now, and then we will have this game underway. But we're happy to bring it to you on EHS TV live on YouTube through
006our Everett Public Schools channel. Again, Josh Delgazo, Justin Han. Looking forward to all the action. B, just leave it. [Music] Co. Heat. Heat. [Music] Oh, wait. Oh, I know. [Music] What? [Music] That's what I thought. [Music] I don't like tag me in tag me in like this. What happened, bro? [Music] She has your hair. Well, you have to do like if she has her hair. No, I don't know. It'll be like [Applause] [Music] I'm not in front of them anymore. I'm sorry. Call time. Call time. Everyone go. Let's get him early. The same line towel here. All right, we are about ready to begin the top of the first inning. The host Mustangs take the field first led by their star pitcher number 22, Kylie. We do have just last names. We have first initials,
007but uh that that might get weird. So, we're going to keep it with the last names. Kylie in the last meeting with the Crimson Tide, Kylie fanned 12th. So, you can see a large part of that Mustang 18-2 record and all those shutouts, the seven shutouts. Well, reason to believe there's a strong pitcher. Oh, absolutely. You know, and I heard the girls on the ever bench warning each other, hey, remember the change up. Remember the change up. So, clearly they know what happened last time and they don't want to repeat it. And just like that, leadoff hitter, the freshman, Ariana Orsorio Bonia, reaches first base on a beautiful bloop to left field. A fine season for the young freshman who plays second base has handled the leadoff chores this year. And just like that, Justin,
008the Tide using their familiarity, getting a big base hit. And of course, a pitcher's best friend is a change up on top of a great fast ball. And that is a fair ball as it dives dead into the ground. But the job was performed sacrificing the base runner over to second base. So nice job by Olivia Dresser getting down the bunt just in front of home plate and that advances Osoral Bonia to second. So now with a runner in scoring position and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we saw Dresser threatening the bunt last game that we did. Yeah, Dresser's big time. Dresser is a sophomore, plays shortstop and can just do it all. A terrific hitter. lays down bunts, has a great bat. This is Ashley Seard. Oh, that is a great
009play made by the shortstop number nine Tadilla. What a play Tadilla got on her Mustang to track that down. And that was one of the Tides top hitters, senior Ashley Seard. So, you got to give Tadilla a tip of the hat there. And now it's on to the cleanup hitter, number 22, Alexa Yuga. Another senior. Yuga has had a fine career here for the Crimson Tide following a long line of Yuga athletes. And Alexa will look to see if a base hit can help score or Bonia. But we have two outs in the inning. So Oruroro Bonia is running on contact. [Music] No, nicely handled by the catcher. Can't quite see the number there, Josh. But that was a great defensive play. We'll look to get that cleared up and give that credit. Yuga hits
010it over to second base. Wobbled. Yuga digs it. Oh, but nice recovery by the second baseman. And the Mustangs will retire the side stranding a base runner for the Crimson Tide on second base. That was that play was made by number two Andre. Nice piece of contact by Yuga. And the Tide again good start, but they will head into the bottom of the first. We are at zeros here. [Music] We got five. [Music] Hey, he's expecting you. Yeah, that's how you [Music] Got gas. [Music] All right, the Crimson Tide now ready to take the field in the bottom of the first inning led by their ace pitcher, senior number five, Payton Warren. and Warren leading off the bat in order Tadilla, the one who just made that phenomenal play, their shorts stop for Medford. Talk
011about it, Justin. That was big time. And Tadilla puts one, a rocket down the third base line. That will go foul, but uh that'll get the attention of Alexa Yuga who's playing the hot corner as Tadilla turned on that one really quickly. Oh yeah, another one. Warren has had a fine season leading that leading the Tide to a 15 and five record. And that ball is smashed, but not before the steady glove from center fielder Jayla Dilla, another senior for the Crimson Tide, who do shoulder a heavy senior load in their starting lineup. But Deilla, who has been a mainstay in center field the last few years, comes up with a big out right there. Ooh, and showing the drag bunt is the second baseman Andre who recorded the final out of last inning after
012bobbling a rocket off of the bat of Alexa Yuga. Andre recovered nicer to get the out. Now Andre showing bunt. Scoreboard is not operable, so we'll have to keep count ourselves, which easier said than done. And that gets down. That's fear. And that is going to pull the first baseman, Graziela Foster, just off the bag. Nice job by Cassidy River. It was a tough play. Threw a quick one down to first, but just taking Foster off the bag. And obviously with with a a hitter squaring a bunt like that, you know, they have good speed. Clearly being put in that situation. So yeah, and that's the risk you take when you when you go for the bunt. Correction, that was ruled foul. So we're still we're still at bat here. That one is in play.
013And that one is going to get down. And that one does beat the coverage of Osorio Bonia. So correction on our end. That was foul the play before, but that bunt there was successfully laid down. And the Mustangs reaching first with one out. And it's their number three hitter Richie Ooli. The lefty. [Music] That's it. right there. The ball joy [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that just misses and I can hear the dugout. This is Joy Richioi. So Joy taking the first two pitches and that's in the dirt but that's going to advance Andre to second base. So now with a runner in scoring position, exactly position A for the Mustangs with their number three hitter at the plate. You know that's one Our catcher has usually been on the ball every single time, but it just
014takes one little misplay, especially with the Jets on Andre. Yeah, no doubt about it. And and I'm glad you alluded to the play of Cassidy Rivera, who's been outstanding behind the plate all season long. But oh, nice job battling back for Payton Warren. Way to battle back for Warren as the count runs full and that's going to be outside for ball four. So the Mustangs now with runners on first and second. This is the number four hitter. Ki number 21 Ki. [Music] Nice and relaxed up there. Sydney. And this is Sydney Ki. So, I'm doing my best to pick up the first names that are coming from the dugout. You got pretty good ears. I got good ears. I I passed my hearing test today at the high school led by Julianne Witson and David
015Babino. That is skyed high into the air. And that is going to grab nothing but aluminum at top the Mustangs dugout. I'm glad it didn't go further into that parking lot. That's uh where I did choose to park. Maybe not the wisest decision, but uh I didn't see a lot of cars in there. And maybe that's why. That ball's ripped. That's scorched. That gets it to the glove quickly of Mia Allen. Nice job by Mia to field that clean, but that ball was ripped on the ground and the bases are loaded for the Mustangs and only one out here in the bottom of the first. I like Andre's reaction time there. Uh who's running on third right now. She got to the base, checked her coach, checked the ball, just decided decided to stay put.
016Yeah, smart decision. Allen got to it very quickly. And now it's the cleanup hitter Lombardo at the dish for the Stangs. That ball's ripped off of the glove of Warren. One runner will score. The second runner is coming around. Dilla fires home. Good throw home. Rivera gets it. Fires to third. That is going to punch out the lead base runner. Nice job by Cassidy Rivera. And a great throw by Jayla Dilla. While not getting the second runner to score, it did lead to a quick relay from Rivera to third base. Yuga, nice job punching out the base runner. Two outs now for the Tie and Yuga. Great reaction time on that. Just a little hop and down. Great reaction time. Great, you know, great inning so far. So, let's see if they can get to
017that third out. Mustangs with two on the board. Base runner is at second. That is Lombardo. And at the dish is number 11, Mashabi. [Music] This is Eve Mashavei. Five. Got a girl. Every pitch out. [Music] Find some ground. [Music] Matt misses outside. This is a big batter to try to get out here. You want to try to keep this to two. We've seen the tide go down in other games. And they've they've responded battling right back. That ball sky. Coming in is Seward. And nice job. Steady with the glove is Seward to record the third and final out for the Tide. So we'll head to the top of the second inning. Mustangs with two on the board. They're up two nothing. Dirty dirty dirty. 1 2 3. Let's go. Let's go. Another regular Come
018[Music] on, everyone have your chair. Let's [Music] go over here. Oh, really? [Music] All right, leading things off for the Crimson Tide, it's the sophomore number 15, Mia Allen. And that is going to be handled by the pitcher. That is Kylie getting the out on one pitch. So, exactly what the Mustangs like. One pitch, one out. And now this is the first baseman, number 25, Graziela Foster. We've seen Foster up to bat many times uh in the games that we've done together. Josh, she's a threat. No doubt, Justin. Foster is is big time. Foster is a sophomore. So, while we did mention it is a senior laden group for the Crimson Tide, their underassman are very they are exceptional. We talked about Osorio Bonia being a freshman and then you got a trio of sophomores
019with Dresser, Allen, and Foster. So, this is uh and and those are actually that's it. Everyone else in the lineup is a senior. There's not a junior that's in the starting lineup, but still a good thing to have for your future. And then you look to have some of those other underassman come up. But, uh, Foster, the first baseman. [Applause] Nice job by Foster. That's going to get up the middle for a base hit. Good piece of hitting. Absolute rip by Foster. And that we've seen her do it time and time again. That bright future for Graciella. All right. So, now it's the pitcher looking to help her own cause. Number five, Payton Warren. [Music] [Applause] Warren looks to square around. That's going to get to the back stop and Foster's going to wisely take
020second. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Warren sends that into the power alley, but it's going to be handled nicely by the center fielder. That looks like again we're we're looking at a light colored number in the sun. Hard to read. Yeah, a little hard to read. That might have been I I it was a single digit. I I think that was Lombardo number three. I got a quick story. That's what I'm going to go with. We'll try to confirm after, but that needless to say that that records the out. That's the second out. And now this is the center fielder Jayla Dilla who had a couple real nice plays last inning grabbing a line drive out and then a beautiful throw home. That is going to be skyed to Tadilla at shortstop and that will retire the
021side. The Mustangs with a very quick inning in the field and we will head to the bottom of the second. Mustangs on top two nothing. [Music] That's you. I'm number one. [Music] It's a real [Music] eat their head. [Applause] [Music] bottom of the second inning leading off for the Mustangs. This is O'Brien. Number seven, [Music] great start for Payton. Yeah, Payton's Payton's dealing right now. That ball is skyed. Dilla gets back. That's just shy of the fence. O'Brien heads to second and will take the stand up double on a deep shot that almost left the yard. Allen and Dilla raced over nicely, but that was just a little ran out of real estate for that one. Nice job by Dilla to get it in. And now we have the pitcher. It's Kylie. If I had
022one critique on that last play, right, it'd be I didn't hear the center fielder talking. Got to communicate. Got to communicate. And right there, that that pitch made it to the back stop. So O'Brien now advances to third base. That one's coming almost this way. Played off the fence. So that's it. Oh yeah. Coach Carol's on the scooter. Nice job by Rivera handling that. [Music] That one is Sky and Yuga trying to get around the third base. That's a tough one right there. It's a tough read for sure. Kylie still at the plate. Kylie's going to hit that off the end of the bat, but it's going to work. Gets over the outstretched glove of Dresser. And the Mustangs put their third run on the board. Kylie reaches safely over first. Nice. Now this is
023number 15, Isa McKinnis. [Music] That misses outside. [Music] It's an interesting stance McKennis has taken. Yeah, I'm glad you pointed that out. It's uh you can see it. It's it's it's like a a deep bend with the the front leg. Yeah. Squares around, lays down the bunt. Nicely done. Alexa Yuga fires over the first and that just beats beats the tag the glove actually of Foster. That was a great play by Yuga but again really good speed displayed by Isa McKinnis to beat that out. So now we have base runners on first and second and we are back to the top of the order and I think we know what the uh what the stance was all about now. Yeah, I guess it was it kind of puts you in position to square around and
024bunt kind of pivot, right? Quick little pivot there. Come on. You squish the ant with the front leg, you know, just a little bit. Bird Marshant on camera. Yeah, that that's the uh that's that's the one. The one and only bird Marant. Absolute legend. Oh, he is. We saw a flock of birds take off right before first pitch. It was simply on the communication from Bird himself. He got him to move. And that is going to walk and load the bases. So Mustangs now with a key opportunity to add more runs. They're on top three nothing. [Music] Where did you get the bracelet? [Music] All right. And this is Ruby Andre. [Music] I like that name. I do too. Ruby. That is That's a great name. So, Ruby bases loaded and we saw Andre again
025making some nice plays in the field. Another one with some great speed, perhaps the fastest. I mean, showcased it early on in that first at bat. So, Andre looking to add more to the tally sheet for the Mustangs who are on top three nothing. Warren looking to get the strike right here. Yeah, this would be big. This is uh Warren trying to trying to get a punch out right now. [Music] Exactly what she was looking for. That's it right there. That was huge. It looked like Warren just caught the corner of the plate there. Yeah, that was big. Nice job by Warren. [Music] That's Payton Warren, not Taylor Warren. Not Taylor Warren. Oh, that ball's ripped and that gets down. Seward going to field it from right field. Fires it in. Nice throw. Actually, it
026the the base runner was able to score. So, two-run score on that line drive to right field and now the Mustangs on top five nothing. Hit the run now. Come on. [Music] So, we got runners at first and third. And oh, nice job by Rivera. Oh, got him. And got some help from the back stop, but good job by Rivera acting quickly there. Runner does advance from first to second. So now we have two runners in scoring position. [Music] That ball is smashed. That's in the power. You're going to get to the fence. That was ripped off the bat of Sydney Ki. The two runners on both scored. So, another double. Two runners in and the Mustangs now on top seven nothing. We're gonna have a little timeout called here. Payton looking for a little
027bit of water. So Josh, I'm Peting Warren. I'm pitching right now. What do you think we're talking about over here? Yeah, we're just we're just trying to however they come. I mean, right now you realize that there's there's a solid chance the base runner scores from second. If we can try to minimize that, keep it to that that final run. You know, it's going to put an eighth spot on the board if it comes through. It's seven nothing right now. But you're just trying to minimize the damage. It's been a solid inning. There's been some really really well wellplaced and well-hit balls for the Mustangs. But Warren's just trying to deliver strikes, trying to keep her defense in it. a chance to just try to reset right now and then we'll we'll we'll we'll reassess
028when we get back to the dugout and get the bats back out into the field. And just like that, that's a good way to answer. Not for nothing, Josh. But the Tide have actually been playing phenomenally. I haven't seen that many errors this entire game so far. So, you know, Medford just really showing their ability with the bats today. Yeah, you're you're you're seeing a a big reason why is to these Mustangs are 18 and two. I mean, again, this is you can see they're really well coached. They're fundamentally sound. There's not a weak spot in their lineup. So, you just got to kind of tip your hat right now. Warren with a great pitch picking up her second strike out of the inning. Nice job by Payton Warren doing it herself. That's now the
029second out by way of the K. So, good job by Payton digging down here. All she needed was a little water. That's it. That's it. Now it's Eve Mishavei and that's fouled. So, Warren right now in a good rhythm firing some strikes. Good job. [Music] that's pounded into the ground. Yuga comes up firing. Nice play by Yuga. Good low catch by Foster and outstanding Pton Warren digging deep there getting those three outs and it keeps it at seven. So now the Tide heading to the dugout going to get the bats back out. Right now you're just looking to get a few back. We don't need to catch up all in one. Just try to get a few back. Get the momentum going a little bit. See where it goes. We got to end the goose
030egg streak is what we need here. That's big. And I feel like if you can get one, more will come, right? But there is there's definitely the more this goes on, that does start to set in your head a little bit that you know against Kylie and these Mustangs still haven't had any runs in your favor yet. So, let's see if they can uh come back here in what will be the top of the third inning. Mustangs on top seven nothing. Let me show you. Let me show you way. [Music] I [Music] dropped it back. This is so bad. [Music] All right, so top of the third inning for the Tide looking to try to get on the board here. This is number two, Cassidy Rivera, the catcher. Cassidy, we keep saying it, does such
031a great job defensively. Let's see if the senior could try to get things going for a tied team that just looking to get one on the board to try to get some of that mental block against this team. Oo, that one comes in a little high and tight. Nice job by Rivera getting out of the way. And she kind of matrixed that one, Josh, I'll tell you what. Yeah, I mean that was some some real quick reactions. And just like that, working the quick walk. So that's one way to try to get back into this. The tie getting their leadoff runner on and now we're back to the top of the order for Osorio Bonia. And Bonia reached with a base hit in her first at bat. So one for one is Osorio Bonia. That
032one's going to be out of play. And the trees are going to take that one. Yeah, right. I was waiting for it to land. I said, "Wait, we we have gravity here, right?" You know, maybe they don't have it in me. All right. Maybe not. Columbus Park. [Music] Nice little park. Um, this place is pretty cool. Yeah, I like it. Nice field. Little little hidden hidden away. Getting here. Hidden gem. Getting here today. Yeah, no doubt. I'm like, wait, it's down this street. You know, I started to question GPS. I'm like, are we in the right place? And then, yeah, sure enough. You'd never know it, though. Like, when you turn down the street, [Applause] [Music] And that one is also out of play again. [Music] Apparently that didn't land. Oh, it did. I saw
033it. Okay. Yep. Nope. Landed right in your front seat. Whoa. Oh, baby. Okay. Uh, yep. All right. So, two strikes now to Osorio Bernia getting some instructions. Quick little timeout called here by coach Post Shaveo. Stacy Po Shabo now talking things over. I think there's uh we got a little bit of uh something in the eye of Osorinia, maybe some dirt. Um timeout granted to try to try to clear out the optics right now. The freshman who really what a what a fine season. And you know, again, when it's all said and done, Osoro Ber, you know, be a four-year starter. I mean, that's that's pretty pretty big stuff to do as a freshman. And and it's not like, you know, she's it's not like she's one of the freshman that comes in and, you
034know, doesn't really do anything. We've seen her time and time again get on base. Oh, yeah. No. And she's got good speed, very solid in the field. So, takes a ball right there. So, Rivera on first base. No outs. And that's going to catch the corner. And a quick snap throw down. Rivera gets back to first but keeping honest on that quick throw and that will punch Osorio Bonia out on the called strike three on the corner. So now it is Olivia Dresser. Big spot for Dresser. Ball one. [Music] [Applause] That one is sent. Bleachers. Yeah, a little bleacher ball there. And you can see that one off the end of the bat stinging the hands a little bit there. [Music] Dresser tough as nails. [Music] Oh, nice drop by Dresser. That gets through. Excellent
035job handling the offspe pitch. Dresser stayed balanced, waited on the pitch patiently. Good job. Good piece of hitting right now. So, we got two base runners on, one out. And why not? Big big spot for Ashley Sewart. This is who you want up at the dish right now. Seard almost made a great play earlier in the game from right field as well. You know, threw it straight into home plate. Yeah. No, Seward's terrific. I mean, again, another another great career that she's had here at Everett and a big time spot. River is at second. Dressers at first. Good cut right there. Good cut. [Music] Ah, that's a good pitch right there. We got two strikes. Kylie can really fire. I mean, this is [Applause] a big time pitcher. The high heat stays high. Nice job
036by Ashley leaving that one there. [Music] Oh, nice. Way to stay alive by Seward. Staying alive. That was big. 22 on the count. Two and two. [Music] Good eye that's going to work the count full. Big pitch up coming. This is big. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Oh, that's fear. Oh, just by an inch foul. Oh man, that was close. Sue could run. So, I mean, she was digging that one. Oh, yeah. She would have made that. Oh, easy. That would have I was I was hopeful that because it was bare-handed and and but it was in foul territory, but I I thought maybe it took the last bounce for you. I don't know. It was close, but again, no contest there. Although, I think Seward was using a nine iron on that last hit. Oh, yeah.
037Oh man, Kylie returns with a big one right there. That's a big punch out. Now we got two outs. We're running on contact. This is Alexa Yuga. Ospe gets to the back stop. Rivera is going to take third. Advancing to second is Dresser. Base hit right now. Good chance you'll score two. again running on anything. Two outs. You can hear coach Post Shappo letting her her base runners know your run on contact. Just not when it goes that way. Another one foul. Got a big chuckle out of Jeff Nishio, our live stream producer today. Want to extend our well wishes to Joe Cam. We've been battling illness all week, but Joe's still wearing and dealing from home. Joe, if you're watching, we miss you. We miss you, buddy. I know you're getting well rested for
038what's a big week ahead. We got school committee and then we have the pride flag raising ceremony and then we have Everett High School's graduation. So, we uh we'll be willing and dealing the next three days of next week and we have Cam well rested in that bullpen ready to come out throwing strikes and graduation's always the big one. Oh, yeah. Super Bowl. All right. So, Yuga battling right now. That one's hit off the end of the bat. Kylie's going to feel their position and make the throw over to first. And the Mustangs once again, they keep the zero on the board. They know how to avert danger. And uh that's going to end the top half of the third inning. Mustangs on top seven. Thanks. [Music] I like [Music] real. Oh my god. Oh
039my god. [Music] Come on. [Music] Yeah. [Music] My bad. [Music] Bottom of the three, Josh. Yes, it is. Mustangs again continuing to showcase their defensive prowess while swinging a a pretty good bat. So they're on top 7 nothing and this is going to be number seven believe number seven O'Brien who got it started for them last inning. This is Ava O'Brien I'm picking up I believe. Sorry if we do get your names wrong. Uh we only have your first initial. Thanks for pointing that out, Justin. Yep. We are working our best. Definitely always trying to show love uh for for the whole broadcast. I did not get my ears checked by Sulomus today. So, yes. No, I uh I saw that. I saw you skipped on that one. That one is going to go foul.
040[Music] Go ahead. Come on. Warren doing a little bowling. Yeah, that one makes it uh I think she just got off the mound a little awkward there. [Music] That one stays low. [Applause] All right, full count. You like it? Give it a ride. Above. [Music] And now it's going to be a full cut. Sorry, correction. That was It was three and one. That's my mistake. So, three and two. We don't have bird on the scoreboard this time. We We have a a blank scoreboard. So, sometimes I uh Oh, that ball is smoked. Seward right on it. Ashley Seard. Great job getting right over there. Nice job by the right fielder, the senior coming up big. So first out right there on the lead on the leadoff hitter of the inning. And now again, this is
041the pitcher. This is Kylie. And that one's going to get down. Beautifully fielded by Mia though. Yeah. quickly holding it to a single. [Music] This is Isa McKinnis number 15. and McKinnis. This is the uh the bunt the the weird stance to the bunch if I'm not mistaken. That is it's just very interesting to me. [Applause] Yeah. Must be even even on the regular swing just just must be something she's very comfortable with on on that turning radius because ultimately that power is generated from the back leg. [Music] You want to get that the hips and then that brings the back forward. So, we got [Music] a good swing though. One out. And we saw this last time. You can do this multiple times. So, Kylie, as soon as Kylie reaches base, they they put
042in a pinch runner. So, we have a pinch runner for Kylie at first. And that runner is going to take off for seconds. Nice throw by Rivera, but a great jump by it looks like number one, Cat Dixon. And you can see in the books that goes as a flex. So Dixon can flex and and run at any opportune time. That's one of the one of the things you can do here in the softball ranks. So Cat Dixon with a big steal showing that speed. And that one just just that was that was right right on the border there. But the uh the walk is issued. So we have two base runners on one out. Back to the top of the order for 15. And then another base runner comes in. Danalone checks in. That
043base hit gets up the middle. Dixon's going to score from second base. Advancing to second is Analone. And the base hit by Tadilla who is enjoying a fine day so far. Way to stay aggressive. [Music] Dilla in center field just got a piece of that fumbled and then brought it in. But, you know, great play all in all. Yeah. This is Ruby Andre. [Music] And that's going to go foul. Medford big on the bunt game. Yeah, they are. Yeah. I mean, again, fundamentally sound group. They have a lot of speed. When you have speed like that and you work your fundamentals, I mean, it's it's a great way to advance base runners and just put that continued pressure on the other team's defense. That's what they're doing to the Crimson Tide. Warren's battling right now,
044but Medford's just doing every little thing right. Will sound like a broken record, but again, 18 18 and two speaks for itself. Oh, Rivera. Oh, man. That was a good effort. Rivera laid out for that one. Couldn't come up with it, but great effort. Yuga also racing over. Unfortunately, just tripped at the wrong moment there. That's tough. You're going from from from dirt to grass. You can see where there's a little bit of a lip there. That's just kind of natural with with that difference. Nice nice job by Warren picking up the the punch out. That's two outs now. So, the Mustangs eight nothing right now. Two outs with runners at first and second. That ball's ripped. It's going to ricochet off the first base bag and that is going to find another base runner.
045And that ball gets thrown around. It's going to bring it to nine. Beladilla doesn't waste any time. Did not slow down her sprint. And with the second runner, that was 10, right? 10 goose. So yeah, two runners scored right there. So This is now a 10 nothing game and the Mustangs are on top here in the bottom of the third. Oh, let me show you what it is. Actually, how do I I don't even know. Hi, Maddie. Okay. So, it's like I think Jaylen knows how to do it. No, a bunch is like this. It's like you can do that, but like a slap, it's like you run up and you literally just stick. Yeah, but she's going to slap us. So, she look like she's dropping. So, it looks like she um you do
046it to like an advantage to run. So, if you're slapping, you can run. If you're slapping Oh my god. Did you see my realization? Oh, I don't know. I think so. I remember So, we have a pitching change for the Crimson Tide. Relieving Payton Warren is the left fielder. It's the young sophomore Mia Allen. Now, I don't I don't think I've seen Mia Allen pitch before. I haven't either, but you can see this is also waiting in the wings for what's to come going forward. So, Allen looks like the first off the bench. And Allen is terrific out in the outfield. Yeah, I saw Allen warming up before the game, which is kind of part for the course. You're going to obviously give your backup a little bit of time to warm up just in
047case if if her number is called, and in this case, it is. And again, Payton Warren definitely want to shower her with some praise. Really pitched her tail off, delivering strikes, had a couple couple strikeouts, and just some really good hitting and base running by the Mustangs. You just got to tip your hat, but Warren really dug deep, battled out there, and uh it, you know, it is what it is. The Mustangs are just a really strong outfit that you just you just kind of bid them their hand right there. So, we're in the bottom of the third inning. Mia Allen now, the sophomore, is going to pitch as we get some warm-ups. And here we go. So, the first batter that Allen will face is number 21, Sid Ki. [Music] I believe there's two
048outs. Correct. That is correct. Two outs in the inning, Justin. Let's see what Allen does here. [Music] Once again, who else? What a great defensive play by Rivera. Just making that play in the field. [Music] And Mia, I think just needs to take a step to the left and she'll be nailing these right across the plate. Absolutely. Yeah. All right. So, that's going to be a walk and then taking off on the on the the wild pitch advancing to third is number 12 Joy Richi. So, we have runners at the corners for the Mustangs with two outs. And it is on to number three, Lombardo. And this is Avery Lombardo. And Avery sends a hot shot off the batting cage. Foul. All right, let's go. I just want to take a moment to shout out
049uh the guardian of the stream, Jeff Nio, who not only is uh you know, making sure that all you folks at home uh can get this, but protecting us by holding a glove. He's protecting the stream with the glove. Yeah, Jeffrey Natio is uh he's looking for a souvenir. Oh, that one was a hot shot that came this way. Yuga reacted well, but again that ball was really hit with some eyes and hair on it. So, wow. Good hitting right there by Avery Lombardo. So, now we have Eve Mashavei and that catches the corner. Nice, nice pitch by Allen. She just needed to get a little bit more warmed up. didn't give her quite enough time, but I like the way that she's pitching so far. And the fact that she's a sophomore just means
050we got a good two years ahead of us. No doubt. No doubt. That ball is ripped. And that's going to get past Seward. Just past the glove of Seward there. And that's going to score. That's going to clear the bases with a standup double for Mashavei and that's going to put this at a 12 nothing game right now. Now Josh and believe me I don't want this to happen but remind me what is the Mercy rules again? So, as I understand it, if you have a 12un lead and you get through, I believe it's four complete innings, then the Mercy rule will go into effect. So, a 12un lead. So, when we get into So, it it can't take off here, but when we get into the fourth inning, the the the Tide will obviously
051bat first in that top of the fourth. I believe it's as simple as if Medford gets out of that inning unscathed, this will go to Mercy. I I don't believe it's the fifth inning because you play seven innings. So, I believe the game basically it's it's like their way of cutting it in half. Um, we've we've seen this happen once, but it wasn't in the fourth inning, but I believe it went into effect. So, forgive me for there's a little bit of of haze on those details. There's a small gray area. There is there's a small but I I I the cutoff is 12 and um I'm I'm I'm quite certain it's four complete innings. We're in the bottom of the third right now. So, and there's still one more out there that the Mustangs
052can add in. So, we have two outs. We have a base runner at second. And yeah, this is Ava O'Brien who again, everyone in the lineup has really put together some good swings. And O'Brien has done that too, keeping her dugout alert over there with the foul ball. Ava, Ava in particular has been outstanding. We've seen her a few times at bat. And what I like, what I'm seeing by Mia is I think she's putting a little spin on the ball. Yeah, cuz we've seen like three fouls in a row here. Oh, good velocity, too. Mia bringing a good fast ball right there. That is a fair Oh, no. It hit the plate. Okay. All right. It ended up fair, but it it it bounced off the plate, which would rule it foul. Good heat
053by Mia Allen. Yeah, absolutely. Awesome. [Music] She's making me nervous on that first one, but she looks good. And you know what? That that's that kind of happens, right? You know, you get your first batter, you're coming into a game, sometimes finding that strike zone can be a bit of a chore. But then you've seen Mia Allen settle in very nicely here. And that is strike free if it's recorded. Oh wow. Grazella Foster with a snow cone for the kids records the third and final out. I like that one. Thank you. Thank you. And that's how this one ends in the bottom of the three. So we've gone three complete and it's the Mustangs on top 12 nothing. Now Josh, I I'm just going to sidetrack a little bit cuz I was on my Instagram
054the other day and did you see uh tonight's junior prom for those of you that don't know? Yes, it is. Did you see that the entire junior class proposed to Superintendent William Hart to go to junior prom with them? Well played, junior class. I thought it was pretty funny. And well done, Superintendent Hart. He He gave him the big old check mark. Yes. If you haven't seen it, go go go to the uh the Ever Public Schools Instagram page. It's a It's the new real. I think it's really funny. It's a great plug. Uh an outstanding job by our our our junior class. Our superintendent of course would be remiss. We got to give uh some love to Francancy Doo and uh of course David O' Conor for their for their work and and and
055helping make that happen. Or as we like to call him in the TV studio, the doc the doc doc always making it happen. But great job by uh by our communications team and uh what they do and superintendent Hart. But yeah, the creativity from that junior class. No, that's amazing. Uh one of our favorites, our very own Johnny Go. We know he's going to be looking dapper at that prom tonight. Apparently. Apparently coming in green tux and I believe it's got a little bit of a velvet feel. I think so. I think so. But you know what? But what? We'll be right back. We got to talk about this off stream. [Music] Come here. And then I turn around. [Applause] [Music] This is Mia Allen putting a couple good cuts into it. We've seen her
056on the plate. We've seen her at bat. We've seen her at left field. Let's see what she could do now. And I I really liked what I saw from Mia pitching last inning. Like I said, I think she's got like a little spin on that ball because those those balls weren't hitting the same way they were in the previous innings. Yeah. No, she she's throwing a spinner with some good heat. And uh let's see if she can help her own cause right now at the plate. Tell you what though, you're seeing the dominance of Kylie on the mound picking up the big punch out right there. Kylie's got it all. A big time fast ball. A really good off speed pitch. Yeah, this Mustang team is is pretty loaded. So now we're going to go
057to the bench here. We're going to see an at bat by one of our seniors. This is number 20, Emma Salvi. We saw Emma honored at our senior festivities last week. Really nice thing that that coach Stacy Pochavo and Coach Niagro uh put together. You know, of course, the parents, the parents are involved, right? The parents have that come out to everything. Yeah. No, big shout out to our our parents who do an outstanding job of just their support and everything they do for for these kids. And what's great is school just let out an hour ago when this game started. And we're we we've consistently seen more and more students come to Medford to support the team. And you know, that's why you got to love ever sports. Yeah. Great turnout. It's it's it's
058what makes our community special. And um you know the ever tide always in full [Music] effect. Salvi with a good cut right there. Just some masterful pitching on display by Kylie. [Music] [Applause] And two quick outs recorded by way of the K and Another senior, Louisa Valv, as coach Post Shavo, letting her seniors get some swings now. I like her swing, though. You know, she's got a nice uppercut. Most of the time, you don't want to do that. It'll go into the outfield or it's a popup, but I kind of like her chances here. [Music] [Applause] Good eye by Valev. [Music] Vev traditionally the center fielder on the team. That's right. [Music] And VB does a nice job getting the walk. And we are now another senior. This is of course in the starting lineup
059as our center fielder, Jayla Dilla. Sov on first base, two outs. Jayla Davilla's turn at the dish. That's in there for strike one. Again, as we understand it, if this out is recorded, this this will end the game via mercy rule. Well, we've been wrong before. We have. So, Jayla with a good swing into that one. [Music] And that is how the out is recorded on a nice piece of hitting by Dilla. And as I always say, I am often wrong because I see gloves going on and I see the Crimson Tide taking the field. So we will continue to play on, but I I I now believe it is in effect. So um stay tuned, folks. But it's like you're my side boo. [Music] Whoa. Holy. Does she still have it? Yo, I wonder
060if she still has it. Let's see. Let's see if you pass. Didn't you play St. basketball. I did. Yeah, I know. From Joyy's dad. Remember Joy? I do. What grade is number five though? Oh, she's like a good picture. I know. Wait, did you did she play last year, too? Play your mom. Did you play last? Did she play soccer last year too? You have to go to left. All right, bottom of the fourth inning and look at this. Back onto the mound for the Crimson Tide. It's Payton Warren. She's back out there. Mia Allen now taking her familiar spot out in left field. This is the bottom of the fourth inning and the Mustangs on top 12 nothing. Uh to clarify my omission, which is often the case. So, it there is a mercy
061rule, but it has to get to five innings. So, uh my mistake for those of you at home, I uh I did not put my mortgage on it, but I I felt good about it and uh I feel good about a lot of things that I'm often wrong on. So, not the first time. Won't be the last time. I'm sure I'll find a way to mess this one up somehow. But uh yeah, that's what we got from our very own Bird Merchant who did interact with uh I think it was Kimberly FTH. So, Kim, we're going to put you on the spot if this info is wrong. Although, I'll still wear it. Okay, it's it's my words, not yours. Okay, here we go. Weeding things off for the Mustangs. That is a foul ball that's
062probably going to bounce off the tree. And oh wow. Okay, again, not a soft ball. They are not soft. That one had a a a particular loud thud that definitely caught the attention of everyone in attendance. While we love the tree coverage, it certainly makes for a lot of interesting gravitational forces and objects to happen. Oh, it's going to be a great stop by Seward right there. Yeah, Seward. Really good play. That ball was hit up the middle. Seward now moving from right field to shortstop. And is that That is uh school committee member Robin Babcock taking some more photos. I see her at every high school event. Yes. Yes. Robin Babcock, our very own on the school committee and just always capturing the events both in the athletic realm, the artistic realm, the educational
063realm. All things effort, Robin Babcock is there. Hats off to you, Robin. Always a great job. We'll see you Monday. Yes, we will. School committee coming to you Monday, the uh second to the last Well, we have two left. So, Monday and then of course uh the 16th 16th. That one is ripped down the third baseline. Nice effort by Alexa Yuga. Big shout out to the uh student crew. They're not here today. Um you know, junior prom, all that sort of stuff, but big shout out to our student crew. You know, we do this for you guys. uh you get to learn with us, but do we learn more from them? Yeah, I think so. No, absolutely. They keep us young. They're outstanding. Um I'm glad you mentioned it. They they really are great and
064uh just a great great group of uh of kids. Really, you know, going to get a little emotional during graduation watching five of our seniors Yes. move on. Yes. Seward again make the play. Ah, Sewart. Who else? Nice job by Ashley. Great. [Music] Joe, I'm going to send you a picture of the chair that Jeff Nio has. Uh, we need to order some. Oh, yeah. I like that. Beltadilla. We got some clouds rolling in as we are in the bottom of the fourth inning. I I believe on the our forecast I think we're pretty clear but clear until about 5 is what we saw. So, you know, let's see. Still won't be as bad as that first one I did with you, Josh. How about Sewart? Sew all three of the plays. Talk about it.
065Unbelievable. That was a hot shot to shortstop. Sula picked it clean. Threw an absolute strike over the first and get her on the mound. Yeah. No. Second out recorded. Nice job, Ashley. Okay, so now we have just 60 ft away at third base, the base runner. And this is Ruby Andre. Analone's at third now. Josh Andresa is given a little bit of a running start to her hit. Do you know what the the thought is behind that? Yeah. So, again, uh you do that often when you have someone that has wheels and someone that can pull off that type of athletic swing, which it works out right there. You can see a play like that. It's it's one of those things that you're asking a lot of your hitter, but when you have a hitter
066that's comfortable in that role, they basically you're allowed you can take a running start. Now, only a lefty can do it because a righty can't break the threshold of home plate. And um so it's really something that a lefty uh really has the chance to do. That ball is ripped by Jayla Dilla. Great play. Excellent job by Jayla coming up with the leather on that one. That will retire the side. And I think, correct me if I'm wrong, I think that was the first scoreless Mustangs inning. That's correct. So, really nice job by Payton Warren who came back into the game and just dug in for a nice nice scoreless inning right there. So, hats off to our senior Payton Warren for digging deep. And the Tide now again, this this could be it. Uh
067they they have a chance to try to scratch one across. They'll extend this, but uh down 12. You're getting a nice nice pep talk from their coach right now, Po Shaveo, going over some instructions and uh what could be their final at bats of the season. 2 I like that one. I mean, it's still wet though. [Music] All right, leading things off for the Crimson Tide. Senior number two, Cassidy Rivera, the catcher. Cassidy makes all the plays behind the plate. Does a great job defensively and offensively, quite quite honestly. And it's also what Cassidy brings to the table mentally. always a steady, composed hand for the pitcher. Of course, done so with her glove, but just a very calming presence back there. And that's what you want from your catcher. Someone that really can kind
068of keep your pitcher at ease when things can go sideways. Cassidy puts a rip into that one. But the Mustangs just again, great play by the center fielder. Yeah, no weakness at all in their game. Nice job by the center fielder handling that one. And that is the first out of the inning. So now we have some laughter going on as Cassidy takes a small tumble coming back to the dugout. Much to the laughter of her dugout. We like to see the smiles. And now batting it is number one. We have Mia Oliva. Another senior. So Oliva will get a chance swinging the stick. Strike one. Nice pitch by Kylie. I think it's clear you're going to see Po Shavo trotting out all of her seniors. You know, this could very well be their last
069game at Ever High School and you know, they got to be feeling the emotions right now. And that is a punch out right there. So, Oliva gets retired and it is our final senior. This is number six, Telica Arrington. So Arrington now getting an at bat. The Mustangs are one out away from victory. Allegedly. Allegedly. According to Bird. I mean Bird, he's never wrong. I'm wrong, but Bird's not yet. I tell you what though, Josh, I definitely prefer this weather to the first time. Oh, yeah. That that was uh I I got to bring it up every time we're together back in April. Back in April. That game that had a uh a 36 degree feels like I think it was 42 out on the thermometer. That was that was fun. It was uh it
070was a great time, you know. Got to break out the emergency hoodies, emergency gloves, all that sort of fun stuff. Yeah. And uh you know, let's keep it to uh later in the season next year, but Oh, yeah. Yep. Nope. No. Uh definitely. Uh that's my bad. And um Yep. Okay. So, uh a free pass has been issued to Arrington who will get the walk. And now it's our shortstop. It's all everything senior Ashley Seward. It's fitting that Ashley gets up to the plate here. Ashley skies that out and Bellatadia records the out and that's how this one will end. It's the Mustangs advancing in the tournament. Best of luck to them. You know, what it going to be rough. Yeah, it's going to be a a matchup of uh well, now the Mustangs are
07119 and two, but a couple two loss teams going at it in uh number two seeds. So, I believe that game will be this Sunday out in Holden, Massachusetts as that's where the Mustangs will take their show on the road. And for the Crimson Tide, this is where their road has ended, but not before another fine season, finishing up at 15 and six. A really great year by coach Po Shabo, coach Nigro. A really good job getting a nice applause here from the large Everett contingent that has showed up and showed out. And again, that's the support we talk about in the city of Ever. Yeah, like I said, every every sporting event we go to, it doesn't matter if it's one of the big ones like football and you know, they're all kind of
072big. I'm going to take that back. All the big all the big sports, softball, baseball, hockey, even though hockey is kind of it's kind of like a mixture now. We see all the other Everett sports teams showing up and you you'll love to see it. Makes you proud to be from Everett. Oh, always always proud to be from Everett and uh again, we just want to always congratulate the fine work that our young student athletes have performed this season. And we want to especially bid ado to our seniors. Number one, Mia Oliva. Number two, Cassidy Rivera. Number four, Jayla Dilla. Number five, Payton Warren. Number six, Telicia Arrington. Number eight, Ashley Seard. Number 12, Louisa Vev. Number 20, Emma Salvi. And number 22, Alexa Yuga. A fine career for our seniors. To the underassman. The
073torch has now been passed to you. But to our seniors, what a great job in finishing up what was another great season. 15- six. Always consistent in making the tournament. And um again, you lose to a quality opponent, you just have to tip your hat. Yeah, absolutely. Like like we've been saying all game, like the Mustangs, they just played that game as perfectly as you could get, you know? And there's a reason that they're what are they 19 and two right now. Excuse me. A little bit of math in my head, you know. Did a little bit of quick math. Doesn't need to be right. Just needs to be quick, right? Uh but it was right. Um but no, they they played the game perfectly and they're really playing to their strengths uh at bat
074and defensively. Like I can't be mad. Can't be mad. That that was just a great team and for Everett a little rough, you know, couldn't get a point on the board, but they didn't play terribly, you know, they every step of the way Medford just had a little bit of an edge. Yeah. No, you you said it well. They battled. I mean, they battled. You you you see when you play an opponent like this, there's there's no margin for error at all. And there really wasn't the the the tide were playing clean, but again you just you have you have a locomotive in the Mustangs where they just I mean they they all tremendous bats in the lineup. They're very sound defensively, great speed on the base paths. Well coached, you can see it and
075and we wish them the best of luck. I mean fellow greater Boston League foe u wish them the best of luck in their road to watch it. But again, for our Crimson Tide, another fine season. Happy to always bring it to you here from EHS TV and um uh another one in the books, Justin. That's it. That's it. And we'll see you uh well, we won't be on the screen, but we'll see you behind the scenes on Monday for school committee and on Wednesday for the big one. Yeah, the big one Wednesday.
